Looking for advice on the best winter boots to buy

Josef Seibel for me.Love them.

Cosyfeet are good but expensive and do a wide range of fittings. My mum in law swears by them.

I too am a Siebel fan but could I also suggest Matalan? Pre lockdown I bought several pairs of butter soft leather boots there - fabulously comfy and long-lasting - £32 a pair. I cannot fault them.

I have Arthritis and bunions so I sympathise with you. Shuropody, Reiker, Gabor and Josef Siebel are all good. Comfort is everything! "Compeed" a plaster for bunions are good too. A friend recommended them as some boots were rubbing and my Chiropodist agreed they are good. I used to like Edwards boots too but our nearest shop has shut. Leamington does have some good shoe shops so good luck.

Thank you for all your recommendations. I tried on some boots from Hotter yesterday but didn't like any of them.
I'm going to stay with my eldest daughter in Leamington next week and there are a couple of lovely shoe shops there. Hopefully I may find some that I like.

Take a look at Josef Siebel too. Their Steffi 60 is calling me. I'm a big Ecco and Hotter fan but this season found that Siebel beat them for comfort on summer shoes so I'm hoping similar for autumn winter.

My Mark's and Spencer ankle boots. Lots of other styles available too.

Sketchers all the way

I used to love my Ecco runners, so comfortable I wore them in the house too.

Gabor usually do attractive and comfortable variety of boots.
This website is always useful for boots and shoes with a good range of other makes.

Moshulu, very soft leather, lovely colours, and very comfortable. I've found that they do come up a bit big so I've gone down a size.

Hotter/Pavers/Clarke's/fly London (good widths with razor sharp styles!/Gabor/all have accommodated my E width size and an emerging bunion too!

I don't get on with Hotter, I have tried. I have high arches and wider than average feet. I like Clarks Unstructured sandals and boots, they just suit my feet. I have some Un Adorn zip ankle boots which cannot be called stylish, but look OK as plainish boots with trousers, they are several years old and still going strong. I get a wide fit as I like plenty of room.

I like the look of the latest Clarks Unstructured, would wait for a 20% offer.https://www.clarks.co.uk/c/Appley-Mid/p/26161752

I find sketchers soft boots quite comfy with good arch support

Try Moshulu too - my mother-in-law used to find they fitted her feet much better than Hotter.

crazyH Thank you so much.

I like VanDal, they do various width fittings, and are very well made. I’ve got a bunion on one foot only, so not the easiest feet to fit, but their shoes and boots tend to be leather lined, so I find them really comfortable - they are stylish, and they last for years.

Aldo, Nothing to do with shoes, but just noted that you lost your son and I’m so sorry

Fanny Hotter just don't fit my feet. I've tried their shoes and boots, with no luck. But when I was trying to find pretty sandals to wear with a summer dress for my son's funeral, Hotter had a pair in pale blue. They were perfect. I bought a second pair in tan and cream.

Sorry, I meant to mention that Mark's and Spencer do wide fit which is a blessing with painful toes.

Aldom have you tried Hotter?
They are soooo soft.

Marks and Spencer are the only boots I find comfortable. Similar problems with arthritis in toes. Their boots are stylish too.

Hotter all the way!
